| Are these fake? I don't see "Furutech" anywhere on those receptacles! Nor on that box in the photos! | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? YES! And YES, again! | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? A Parallel SET amp will have half the output impedance of a single-tube SET - all else being equal. That will have a positive result driving a typical speaker with a varying impedance curve! | |
| To Couple or Decouple Bookshelf Speakers to Stands? No to decoupling! The added weight of the stands will give a firmer foundation for bass response. Just like adding mass to the speaker cabinets. | |
| What’s the best rca “Y” adaptor? $250! LOL! Just get s pair from Monoprice and stop being so obsessive! I'm telling you this for your own good! | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Get a BEL 1001 and you'll never want to listen to anything else! | |
| Output test on amp All power amps (and preamps) have linear (flat) response out to their upper and lower limits, where they roll-off in the ultra-sonic and sub-sonic regions. So no need to worry! | |
| Damn, what a joy to have good College FM stations. Tampa has WUSF 89.7 All Night Jazz. Sunday - Thursday 9 PM - 5 AM. On Friday and Saturday 9 PM - 6 AM. Mostly Jazz from the Fifties to the Present. On the 'Net: wusfjazz.org | |
| Snell Type A Some of the later versions of the Type A's used 12" woofers. You will have to check. I haven't examined my pair yet (not in use at present). But I do have a pair of KLH Six's with 12" woofers that might fit! I recommend you get replacement woofers... | |
| Snell Type A @billgjr : I already had a nice pair of 10" woofers with rubber surrounds that I took from a trashed pair of AR 2's. They were a perfect drop-in fit for my friend's Type A's. Both the Snell and AR woofers had the compliance for a sealed box. So I ... | |
| Vintage Mitsubishi / MGA Separates question Japanese gear in the late '70s was considered by American audiophiles to be not as good or desirable as American or British. Mitsubishi had a tough time with the US high-end market. And the MGA brand didn't do much better! Competition was stiff wi... | |
| Vintage Mitsubishi / MGA Separates question Mitsubishi/Diatone in the late '70s never caught on with American audiophiles. Who preferred to buy American products - unlike today! I myself bought a Son of Ampzilla for $430 - a bit less than the Mitsubishi amps. | |
| Vintage Mitsubishi / MGA Separates question The store I worked at (Audiocom) didn't carry the lower-tier MGA line, but it could be ordered from the importer. | |
| Vintage Mitsubishi / MGA Separates question @islandmandan : that was the separate preamp and power amp - which I have! The two fitted together but could be used and sold individually. There was also a separate preamp/tuner available, along with the AM/FM tuners. The power amp came in two mo... | |
| Vintage Mitsubishi / MGA Separates question I am not familiar with the MGA brand - but I assume it was Mitsubishi's lower-tier line at lower cost. A need for that because the upper-tier gear was quite pricey for the time (mid-to-late '70s). |
